We develop a new framework to analyze the aggregate implications of lumpiness in microeconomic adjustment, which is pervasive in many economic environments. We derive structural relationships between the steady state moments and the business cycle dynamics of lumpy economies, and we show how to...

We analyze all-pay auctions with affiliated values and binary signals. We analyze the unique symmetric equilibrium with any number of bidders and show that the bidders earn positive rents only if the equilibrium is monotone. We also characterize the symmetric equilibrium of the closely related two-...

A transplant can improve a patient’s life while saving several hundreds of thousands of dollars in healthcare expenditures. Organs from deceased donors, like many other scarce public resources (e.g. public housing, child-care, publicly funded long-term care), are rationed via a sequential offer...

We extend Duffie, Gˆarleanu, and Pedersen’s (2005) search-theoretic model of over-the-counter asset markets, allowing for a decentralized inter-dealer market with arbitrary heterogeneity in dealers’ valuations or inventory costs. We develop a solution technique that makes the model fully tractable...

When an intertemporal carbon budget is imposed to fight climate change, abating emissions earlier has a social rate of return that is equal to the growth rate of the marginal abatement cost, i.e., of the carbon price. I use a normative version of asset pricing theory to determine the efficient...

This talk presents the findings of my research over the past decade on the interaction between demography and economics before and during England’s Industrial Revolution. Reflecting on the findings, the talk entertains the idea that rising male and female incomes in the run up to the Industrial...

Platforms are very large firms the size, financial power and influence are without precedent, developing a two-sided platform business model, generating concentration and sustainable domination. They provide efficient intermediation, always extending their perimeter by integrating innovation. But...

We develop a class of demand models for differentiated products based on the concept of entropy. The new models facilitate the BLP method (Berry et al., 1995) by avoiding numerical inversion of the demand system. They accommodate rich patterns of substitution and complementarity while being easily...
